Ed Skillz – New Carplounge Team angler for BENELUX
Within last years the RT4 baitboat became also the best selling high-end baitboat in the BENELUX countrys. In order to satisfy the huge interest of carp anglers and in order to provide news, pictures and videos, Ed Skillz will join the carplounge BENELUX Team. Ed: “The last years carp technology has taken jump. The leading company in technical development at this moment is absolutely Carplounge. Over the last years I have met Alex several times at the carp shows all over Europe. We had some good conversations about bait boats which gave me the certainty that this man knows what he is talking about. It was just recently that I decided to join the Carplounge team, after using the latest RT4 boat while fishing with a friend who already owned one. During my years of carpfishing I have used many different types of baitboats, which has given me a clear vision on what is good quality and what isn’t. The Carplounge products stand for premium quality. One of the main important things, is service. Many boats are build in China, nevertheless Carplounge has its own development team and every product is handmade and tested in Germany. There isn’t a problem they can’t fix.
Since I fish big waters and rivers most of the time, I needed a strong boat that could endure the roughness of nature. RT4 suites me just perfect! The power and speed are a real relief, even when you are driving your boat up against the stream of the river. That is what I needed.
It feels great to be part of a high profile team of people who keep on developing what already is a great product. – Ed Skillz” Welcome on board Ed!

Jan Ulak

New Teammeber Jan Ulak:
"I am back, or something in the way would be my reintroduction statement with Carplounge. Alex and I have known each other since mid-2000 and I have been consulting the company in the beginning of their setup already. But I'm not always the easiest consultant and at that time I was constantly criticizing the Carponizer baitboat that was produced in China and sold by Carplounge. The fact that electronics and water are not an easy combination is no secret to anglers but back then my Carponizer was more in repair at Krefeld than octually on the bank. The service was always excellent though and I received my boat back within short periods any time but the efforts involved and the recurring problems back then led me to a breakup with Carplounge. Looking back today that may have been a little premature because I am usually loyal and very honest with my partners - but I can not support products in that I do not believe. Therefore the partly separation from Carplounge which never became a full seperation due to the fact that I held contact with Alex through my friend Philipp Braun who is also a consultant. I have always observed the development of Carplounge and their decision to stop the distribution of "Made-in-China" Carponizer baitboats in 2009 was a very good move I think. They started to produce the proprietary RT-Baitboat series entirely and exclusively with branded components in Krefeld. I realized through the joint fishing with Philipp that the quality of the boats was raising and raising and the technology was getting better and better. As the RT4 then came onto the market and Philipp and I were the first time back together on the bank, I really had to acknowledge that he had a really good bait boat! Especially the carbon body, the mega battery life, the battery lights and the total renunciation of mechanics have really impressed me. I was excited about the longevity and can say that Philipp's RT4 has kept doing the job for several years, still running smoothly today. Alex and I startet chatting again in the summer of 2015 and it quickly became clear to me that the RT4 should be my new baitboat. Now after a few missions in the water I am totally impressed with my RT4 and can therefore represent this product and the company Carplounge by 110 %. I look forward to working together with Alex and the team and am proud to be a part of this innovative company that has clearly established itself in recent years as a world leader in high-end applications."

***France Below***
Originally from northern France, I fish since a very early age. I started fishing the canal and some small lakes. After experiencing some troubles with lady carp on several occasions, I wanted to know what was that fish that seemed so powerful to me. It was then that I started fishing the carp in my region. This period remains exceptional for me in terms of the discovery of this type of fishing and what makes someone become so passionate about it. This experience actually pushed me to go fishing in other regions and the story took a whole new turn. During each trip I learned a lot being close to the water from a technical perspective as well as from a human perspective.
Since last year I joined Carplounge Tackle. I have the chance to be part of this amazing team led by Alexander. It is a real privilege to be able to use very high quality material that is constantly evolving. The RT4 boat is a great product which was designed by fishermen for fishermen. Nothing was left to chance before it started being marketed, you really feel that this boat was extensively tested. For me that is the must for ignitor boats on the European market. A 36 months warranty that is a guarantee of quality. A few words to sum up this boat: size, weight, performance and reliability.
For me fishing remains first and foremost a pleasure where sharing with others is essential.
Looking forward to meeting you by the waterside.
*** France ***
Originaire du Nord de la France, je pêche depuis mon plus jeune âge. J’ai
commencé à pêcher le canal et quelques petits plans d’eau. Après avoir eu
quelques déboires avec dame carpe à plusieurs reprises, j’ai voulu savoir
quel était ce poisson qui me paraissait si puissant. C’est alors que j’ai
commencé à pêcher la carpe dans ma région. Cette période reste pour moi
exceptionnelle au niveau de la découverte de cette pêche et de son
engouement. Cette expérience m’a poussé à aller pêcher dans d’autres
régions et cette histoire a pris une tout autre ampleur. Lors de chaque
déplacement J’ai beaucoup appris au bord de l’eau tant du point de vue
technique que du point de vue humain.
Depuis l’année dernière j’ai rejoint la société Carplounge Tackle, j'ai
la chance de faire partie de cette formidable équipe dirigée par Alexander,
c'est un véritable privilège que de pouvoir utiliser du matériel de très
haut niveau et en constante évolution. Le bateau RT4 est un super produit
qui a été conçu par des pêcheurs et pour des pêcheurs. Rien n’a été laissé
au hasard avant sa commercialisation. On sent réellement que ce bateau a
subi de nombreux tests concrets. Pour moi c’est le must des bateaux
amorceurs sur le marché européen. Une garantie de 36 mois qui est gage de
qualité. Quelques mots pour résumer ce bateau : Taille, poids, performance
et fiabilité.
Pour moi la pêche reste avant tout un plaisir où le partage avec les autres
doit être primordial.
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer au bord de l’eau.

I have been using the RT4 for a number of years now and can honestly say it’s the best boat on the market that I have used, and trust me I have used a few!
I have to put my hand up and admit I am a bit of a gadget man and see nothing wrong in using technology to aid my angling. The biggest draw for me to the RT4 is how it utilises the most modern technologies and also has a vast range of add-ons to enhance the boats set up. Initially it can be daunting choosing which flavour of boat to go for but there are a number of instructional videos on the CarpLounge website that will aid your decision.
My preference is for the ultra quiet motors (due to the fact I tend to fish smaller, shallower venues), Lowrance echo unit, Scorpion camera system and the amazing bait spirals. This combination allows me tackle any venue with complete confidence.
Gerry Heapes – Team Member
„I have been using the CarpLounge bait boat for a good while now and can hands down say it's the best boat on the market bar none! Utilising cutting edge electronics and superb engineering, the RT4 is a joy to use. What makes it even cooler are the myriad of auxiliary items that can be added on to bespoke your boat. One such item I have been playing around with is the Scorpion Camera System. This unit transmits a live video feed from the boat to your screen ashore. The camera is positionable allowing you to see above and below the waves. If you fish shallow, gin clear, weedy waters - then this bit of equipment is a revelation. You can see down to depths of 10ft/3m (ambient light dependant) and locate the clear spots in the weed to place a rig. There are numerous applications with this bit of kit, agreed it won't suit everyones style of fishing BUT if you want to take some of the guess work out of your short sessions and increase your catch rate by fishing effectively with your time - then check this baby out.“
It's nesting season here at the lake and there is a very angry, territorial Swan terrorising the lake. He keeps attacking Baitboats as soon as they set sail and has already done an aerial on one of the guys boats this weekend!!! 󾆐
I recently sent my boat back to CarpLounge to have a motor upgrade. The boat can be bought with 3 different motors. The one I upgraded to is the * Graupner Brushless HPD Powermotor with Hi-End ESC. This is designed for guy's fishing big inland seas or large rivers where powers needed. It is 50% faster than the standard motor. Using it today I have found two things out. It's very windy at the moment and all the other boats on the water have been struggling to fight the waves and wind, not so with my souped up boat. It is really that much of a difference. And the second thing that has impressed me is the swan has come in at the boat, but has held off having a go because of the overall speed and size of it! And then when it does decide to give chase, it can't keep up with it and gives up after a few seconds! An unexpected win for me.
All thanks to the lads at #CarpLounge
Cheers Alexander Radmacher & Daniel Radmacher #bestboatever
